Well, no, it shouldn't work, as you won't get the broadcast packets and that kidna fun stuff.

No.

ifconfig xx0 10.1.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00
ifconfig xx0 alias 192.1.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00

Note: because you are adding an alias on a different subnet, for which
a route does not exist, use the network's netmask.

Putting in two ethernet cards, I suspect, would end you up in endless
pain.
